Quite expensive but does actually holds things together
What do you like best about the product?
To tell you the truth, I thought it would blow up at some point when I tried to hook it into our HR modules; but, thank god, it did not blow up. I could literally drag and drop little boxes inside the App Engine Studio and it creates an app faster than if I were writing code myself, or, I think, around 30 minutes faster on each project. That "Now Assist" AI created the basic app for me and I was surprised (thought it would be trash) and while it wasn't the most beautiful piece of art, it worked just fine. It allows the non-technical folks to create things so I don't have to.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost wise I find it completely ridiculous, like highway robbery for a license but at the end of the day, as soon as you attempt to make anything of substance the "low-code" promise is a total lie and you end-up having to write scripts anyway and this totally defeats the purpose. The debugging process is extremely painful. If your app is large enough with too many pieces of data, the performance will degrade at an alarming rate (i.e., performance will fall like a rock in a pond), it will become virtually unusable because it will be so slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is my intention to utilize the application to automate mundane tasks every day without spending a ton of money to hire expensive developers to develop the same features. It also is helping us move away from using spreadsheets. This tool enables us to build automated processes (workflows) that generally operate autonomously. It eliminates the need for our team to drown in approval requests.
Streamlined App Development with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I commonly use OutSystems for rapid application development. I like its feature of being one platform for multiple channels and its scalability. The platform handles load balancing, caching, and performance patterns easily. It has built-in monitoring and performance insights. The initial setup is very easy, thanks to its cloud-based nature, which is almost plug-and-play.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there could be a possible improvement in having more flexible UI theming for modern front-end UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use OutSystems for rapid application development, solving slow delivery and high maintenance. It streamlines processes with one platform for multiple channels, handles load balancing and caching, and offers built-in performance insights.

Revolutionizing App Development with AI-Powered, Syntax-Free Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Outsystems is a low code development enviroment platform which is syntax free and you dont need to follow a traditional syntax we need to simply write our logic . in outsystems we can also use a AI features "Ai Mentor" where we can simply monitor our application performance it will also provide a suggestions how to optimize our code and what are the best practices need to follow i personally love this application development tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
In outsystems the thing i dont like was to refresh a dependencies in Outsystems O11 version .but the good news is this issue is also resolved in in outsystems ODC version. so i have have nothing in my hand to dislike it .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using a outsystem i was a Dot-Net developer so the main problem in that is to write a code with its syntax and logic take a lot of time and efforts but , while the outsystems came in market with this low code features then it had changes everything in outsystems you can easily write a code without any care of the syntax you only focus a logic part then you can easily achieve your project by this rapid development . I think this is really benefiting me.
Speeds Up Delivery But Needs Better Debugging Tools
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate OutSystems because it significantly enhances the speed of delivery, making the development process notably quicker. This efficiency in delivering applications is valuable as it aligns with the need for rapid deployment in dynamic business environments or project timelines.
What do you dislike about the product?
I experience difficulties with troubleshooting because it's challenging and cumbersome to pull the logs. The system does not make it easy to access logs, and the process could be improved by integrating with tools like Graylog, which would simplify this task. Additionally, there's no way to search by user, which adds to the troubleshooting complexity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use OutSystems for a Customer Portal app that allows for quicker delivery, enhancing the speed of development in my projects.
Effortless Deployments
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate OutSystems for its ease of deployment and code promotion. The ease of using the Lifetime tool for code promotion is one of the best aspects of this platform. It allows developers to promote code effortlessly to production, which is beneficial for dedicated engineers handling deployments. The platform's ability to integrate built-in APIs to deploy code nightly to our test environment is a tremendous advantage, as it ensures that our quality team always has access to fresh code, enhancing overall workflow efficiency. Additionally, the initial setup of OutSystems is incredibly easy; in fact, we have been able to handle the installation ourselves for a few clients. This straightforward setup process and robust API deployment capabilities make OutSystems a highly valuable tool for our operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the development environment were more expandable. The search function needs improvement with advanced filtering capabilities, such as the ability to search by action name or within comments alone, to reduce false positives. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have the ability to attach notes to each publishing version to facilitate the rollback process and quickly identify required changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use OutSystems to build custom software efficiently, solve warehouse and order management issues, and streamline code deployment, ensuring our team always operates with up-to-date software. It's versatile for integration with tools like ERP systems, Slack, and Jira.
Intuitive Innovation with Excellent Documentation
What do you like best about the product?
I love the innovation that OutSystems offers along with its excellent documentation and examples, which make learning much easier. The platform provides a training and events section where success stories are presented, which is very valuable for understanding its potential and application. Additionally, I appreciate how intuitive the initial setup process is, allowing developers to be free from the burden of configurations and deployments, especially in a cloud development environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the lack of licensing access for freelancers or small businesses in OutSystems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use OutSystems for cloud development, freeing developers from configuration and releases, with innovative documentation and examples to learn from.
Fast Application Delivery, But Needs Better Support
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the intuitive interfaces and the incredible agility that OutSystems provides in delivering applications. This has allowed us to quickly meet a lot of business requirements, making our workflow significantly more efficient. With OutSystems, we can deliver applications much faster than before, which was a driving reason for our switch from .Net coding to OutSystems. The emphasis on agility and speed in application delivery is a distinctive advantage that has profoundly benefited our operations.
What do you dislike about the product?
The infrastructure reliability is a concern for me, and the support is very poor.
